Other Trucks to Consider
The Ford F-150 Ecoboost’s fuel economy ratings can’t match the Sierra Hybrid’s, but it gets good gas mileage compared with other models that offer a similar amount of power. Plus, the turbocharged Ecoboost engine is available on less-expensive trims of the F-150, so you don’t have to shell out extra money or sacrifice bed length in order to get it, the way you do for the Sierra Hybrid.
Shoppers looking for a good value should consider the Toyota Tundra. It’s not particularly luxurious on the inside, but buyers who need a capable work truck will appreciate the simple controls and easy-to-use electronics. However, the Tundra’s price is competitive with other trucks, and it adds a few more gadgets to its standard features list than other trucks do.

The 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid isn’t the most cost-effective choice in its class, but it’s tied with the Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid as the most fuel-efficient pickup truck available.
Reviewers’ biggest gripe about the GMC Sierra Hybrid is that it’s not a great value for a pickup truck. Its base price is almost twice that of the gas-only GMC Sierra 1500, and it doesn’t offer nearly as many standard features as other trucks in its price range. Not only is the Sierra Hybrid expensive, but test drivers dislike its regenerative brakes, which can feel mushy, and its maximum towing capacity is less than a similarly-equipped gas-only crew cab Sierra 1500.
However, these faults don’t keep reviewers from recommending the GMC Sierra Hybrid. Like other pickup trucks made by General Motors, it has a very smooth ride, and although its acceleration is somewhat unpredictable when the gas engine kicks in, it has plenty of power. Plus, the Sierra Hybrid’s upper-level trim is well-equipped with standard features, and in any trim level, test drivers say it is well-made.
If you’re shopping for a hybrid pickup truck, the GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid and its corporate twin, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid, are the only games in town. But if you’re looking for a good combination of value, capability and fuel economy, you’ll want to shop elsewhere.
